It’s my first time visiting with Dr. Rigalosi. I thought he should have given me a MRI but after reading my extensive back issues and surgeries, he feels a chiropractor would be my best bet so I’m going with what he said. Also put me on steroids, which I think will help too. He’s been in the field 20 something years so hopefully he led me the right way. I know Ortho is very thorough with their decisions.

Dr. Rigolosi is the pain‑management doctor you want when the stakes are high. He listens, he thinks, and he makes recommendations and decisions based on your reality — age, history, and your goals. That’s why my confidence in him is absolute. He’s steady, clear, and never locked into one approach. I needed to see another pain management doctor while I was in Florida for the winter and he Introduced the possibility of ablation for me. When I got back to the capital region, I was due for my epidural and a consult with Dr. R. He listened to me – he explained the short term advantages and the long-term potential disadvantages. He didn’t dismiss it! We discussed all of the factors for my specific situation He reassessed my spine issues, my Other health complications and my age – 76,, and said, “ For you, this It’s a reasonable alternative” He will perform that ablation For me in September. I trust him – his competence is unquestionable… And there’s no one else I want poking around in my spine. He’s earned That trust.
